Typing “old” (space) into iOS Safari crashes the app

These are the people who in real life say “Jan” instead of “January.”
I literally just had a PM tell me "we will talk about that 'tom'". It left me confused for a few seconds. Is it really that hard to use a couple more syllables?
Prime Minister of what country?

It's a US military term; I've never heard it outside of a military context, but it's super common within a military context.
It shows up a lot outside of military contexts when flat rate shipping is involved - it's usually CONUS-only.
For me(GP) it was this. Some of desk toys and electronics I'd considered were like that.

Kinda reminding me of when you're autocompleting commands in a shell prompt.

#186“best “ “bedt “ “old “ “wel “ “dta “ All of these crash safari in iOS for me. What’s strange about this bug is that it happened overnight for multiple iOS version. It seems to be a server bug that happens with the requests that populate the suggestions. Turning off safari suggestions fixes it.
Concur, smells strongly of a server-side change, that it's hitting multiple versions all the sudden. Which might mean it's also relatively quick/easy fix?

Doesn't need to be. Some software nowadays can toggle feature flags clientside behind your back. I know Firefox does (or did?) this. Creepy as all fuck.

CONUS (can't help but giggle) supposedly stands for Continental United States, as I learnt from a sibling comment here. First time I'm hearing that acronym.
Target is a supermarket chain in USA. I assume Bestbuy is also something like that.
In my browser (Firefox on Android) if I type "tar" it auto-suggests completing the url to "target.com". Useless to me because I'm nowhere close to USA and there's no Target in my country.
Speaking of which, maybe they should have a separate list of autocompletable sites based on the user's location. However, I'm not sure of the privacy implications of that.

Most interesting comment on cone snails that I ever heard. Couldn't parse it either. Others said it means continental United States.
Would be quite the story if shitty adware causes crashes.
